Our prime function is to promote and secure the future of the independent automotive aftermarket.
What we do
Offering value to members

Members’ interests are protected by the activities of the IAAF, with their views and opinions clearly expressed to the various bodies whose activities affect the day-to-day running of an aftermarket business.

Key to IAAF membership is networking. Bringing members together, united in a common goal is what drives IAAF. There are more IAAF events than ever before and these include regional meetings, conferences, awards nominated dinners, golf days and training events, all of which are designed to offer value for IAAF membership.

Lobbying
The IAAF campaigns for choice and competition in the automotive industry. Working with the UK government and EU through its membership of FIGIEFA, IAAF has successfully achieved legislation that protects and supports the automotive aftermarket through Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Order (MVBEO).
